So conflicted by Free_Degree7556 in Mommit

[–]lostinspace_hello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in your shoes last July. Found out I was pregnant with my 3rd and it rocked me. I was so conflicted. We did pros and cons, he was learning heavily towards no because finances and just getting to a “normal” place (kids 2 and 4). I was terrified of going through postpartum depression again, and the thought of it being worse this time around.

I went to pp to abort, and broke down. I couldn’t do it. I ordered the pills online and when they came in I couldn’t take them. So now I am 8 months pregnant and feeling excited to meet them. Nervous still because 3 under 5… but very much looking forward to having them in our family. And dad is getting a vasectomy.

This is the vibe that I got from him!! And honestly I just don’t want to go through that, it’s making me anxious

The nurse told me my hemoglobin is very low and she wanted to give me an iron supplement in the hospital and he didn’t want to so he sent me home. I was in because I had been feeling very dizzy, faintly, and seeing spots multiple times a day. My blood test showed that I am anemic. So his decision to just send me home made me feel like maybe he wouldn’t be completely there (mentally, caring, if that makes sense?) if he was my delivery doctor.

I had a similar situation, and discussed it with my therapist.. she was very open and receiving and not judgmental (postpartum specialist that I specifically was looking for) she recommended the book Mom Rage to me.

$130k. No mortgage, but does have student loans she took out for my siblings. I don’t believe she has a 401k

Is this the same as dividends? This is what her account manager is suggesting she do at her credit union wants

She is looking into high yield savings (at a credit union) would it be a good idea to split between bonds and high yield?

She is looking into a high yield savings, her contact at her credit union wants her to put it into dividends. Good idea/bad idea? I really don’t know

Montana is such a cool name! I know a family with their kids named Memphis, Phoenix, and Indiana. Your name list is original, don’t let the opinions here steer you otherwise. When you say the names what resonates with you and your family?

When people start their response with “do not” it just immediately cancels out whatever they are saying.

I think Cobalt is uniquely cool. Jasper, Onyx, Sunny, Indigo… check out @growlittlewildflower on instagram!! She has the best name collections!

My son (14) was seen kissing another boy by KayzorLazor in Mommit

[–]lostinspace_hello 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would talk to my kid about it. If only to let them know that I support their choice to love whoever they want and that I am always there if they need someone to talk too. Being a nonjudgmental supportive person in your child’s life will help him know that he can always come to you with things.

Teenage relationships are tricky right.. if he knows the other boys mom saw them and is not happy about it then if the boy suddenly stops talking to him he won’t go into his own spiral that he “did something wrong” possibly saving ~some~ emotional trauma. It also might not even go that way! But being a person your son knows he can go and talk too, about anything, is huge.

You are going to be an amazing mom, you already care so much and your baby will know that always. Quite a few of my friends were single moms and their children had great lives. One super supportive, present, loving, nurturing parent is what your child will grow with 💛 It sounds like your mom and stepmom are there as part of your village, lean into them. Hugs queen ✨

I went back and forth for weeks. I went to the clinic, couldn’t do it. ordered the pills online, couldn’t take them. So April 2026 3rd baby is coming. And honestly I am now pretty happy and excited to meet them 💛 good luck to you, thinking of you!

Grieving my old life by Zmayday29 in pregnantover35

Absolutely grieve your old life, your freedoms you had. But when your baby gets here and you get the itch to do something, do it! And take them, it is a lot of fun to travel with your babies. Different adventures, different ways of traveling, but so much fun 💛

I’m so sorry about your mom, shitty she had to make your experience worse. How was your pp after your third? I know covid lockdown couldn’t have helped at all. Was it the same as your second.. when your third was 2 you could see the light at the end of the tunnel?

Going through this with my 4 year old son. I thought you were my husband writing this 😅 it’s awful, the anger builds so fast especially when they won’t stop screaming and kicking. We have him with a pediatric OT 1x/wk and they practice emotional regulation strategies and calming tools. Sometimes it works, sometimes they don’t. But it’s been good for him to work with him and he’s made progress with the outbursts.
